A dispute between friends in a Buckhead apartment turned fatal on the evening of January 21, 2023, when 25-year-old Daryn Wooten was shot and later pronounced dead at his apartment. Atlanta police say the shooting followed an argument; officers responding to a report of a person shot found Wooten with a gunshot wound. A male suspect described as a friend of Wooten’s was taken into custody at the scene.

Wooten’s family said the suspect had been a welcome guest in their home and described their shock and devastation. Authorities have not released details about what sparked the argument, the suspect’s identity, the formal charges, or the status of any legal proceedings. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone who knew Daryn or was in that Buckhead building on January 21, 2023, has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
